If I recall, they made these purchases in 2010. So just AQ linked Iraqi warlords (who you could probably bet on having joined ISIS).

Ironically, if these artifacts were from northern Iraq, where ISIS has had its main destructive presence, there's a good chance they would have been destroyed.

Still, gross to see a "Christian" company wanting to get items from the 'holy land' that have been totally plundered to build a bible museum.
